SYMPTOMS OF THE THREE TYPES OF PLAGUE
The Marquette County adult is recovering after apparently contracting the flea-borne illness during a trip to Colorado. Officials are reassuring the public there is no cause for alarm, despite the disease's connection to the microorganism that caused the Black Death plague in Europe in the 1300s, killing millions and reshaping history.
"It’s [of the] same organism but, in this case, the infection resides in a lymph node," said Dr. Terry Frankovich, medical director for the Marquette County Health Department.
The bubonic plague, in fact, is notably marked by one or more swollen, tender and painful lymph nodes, usually in the groin, armpit or neck.
With the bubonic plague, people are most often infected by bites from infected fleas or when they have direct contact with the tissues or body fluids from an infected animal. The highest risk is in settings that offer food and shelter for rodents — campsites and cabins, for example, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.
The Michigander's case did not develop into the more contagious pneumonic form of the plague. Pneumonic plague may be passed between humans, infecting the lungs and causing a rapidly developing pneumonia that can lead to respiratory failure and shock, according to the CDC.
In fact, the adult is recovering after a hospitalization and diagnosis "within the past weeks." A lab confirmed the culture Monday.
[NICE OF THEM TO LET US KNOW WEEKS AFTERWARD. IT DOES NOT TAKE WEEKS TO CULTURE FOR PLAGUE.]

The plague is rare, with an average of seven human cases reported across the U.S. each year, according to the CDC.
However, the western U.S. is experiencing an increase in reported cases of plague in 2015, with 14 human cases, including four deaths reported.
The reason for the increase is not known."
MILITARY LABS MISLABEL, MISHANDLE LIVE PLAGUE SAMPLESThe reason for the increase is not known."
IN THE NEWS YET AGAIN LAST WEEK WAS THE DISCOVERY BY THE CDC, WHICH THEMSELVES MISHANDLED EBOLA, ENCEPHALITIS AND LIVE ANTHRAX SAMPLES IN THE PAST, THAT AT LEAST FOUR TOP MILITARY LABORATORIES HAD BEEN SHIPPING LIVE PLAGUE TO OTHER LABS THAT WERE LABELED "DEAD"...FOR PERHAPS 10 YEARS OR MORE.
"WASHINGTON, SEPT. 10, 2015 — The Pentagon's most secure laboratories may have mislabeled, improperly stored and shipped samples of potentially infectious plague bacteria, which can cause several deadly forms of disease, USA TODAY has learned.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention flagged the practices after inspections last month at an Army lab in Maryland, one of the Pentagon's most secure labs.
EIGHT YEARS AGO, WE HAD A ROUND OF "NATIONAL" LABS MISHANDLING, LOSING, AND MISLABELING LIVE LETHAL VIRUSES AND BACTERIA.
SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.
WILL WE SEE A REPEAT OF THE 1918 FORT DIX TYPE EXPERIMENT, BACK WHEN THE MILITARY WAS PLAYING WITH THE SPANISH FLU?
ACTUALLY, 1918 WAS REPEATED AT FORT DIX IN 1976, WASN'T IT?
WITH THE MILITARY AND CDC LABS ALL SENDING SAMPLES OF THEIR BIO-WARFARE TOYS TO COLLEGE LABORATORIES AND OTHERS PERHAPS NOT EQUIPPED OR SKILLED TO HANDLE LIVE PATHOGENS, L;ABS WHO THINK THEY ARE GETTING DEAD PATHOGENS FOR STUDY, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL WE SEE THAT STEPHEN KING MASTERPIECE, "THE STAND", HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.
"CAPTAIN TRIPS" COULD BE HEADED FOR A COMMUNITY NEAR US.
ONE MISTAKE (OR WHAT MAY LOOK LIKE A MISTAKE) AND AMERICANS COULD REVISIT THAT SPANISH FLU PANDEMIC, ONLY WITH LIVE ANTHRAX AND PLAGUE FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE, SOMEWHERE, WE'RE NOT SURE WHERE, WE COULD BE IN FOR SOME ROUGHER DAYS AHEAD THAN THAT 20 MILLION LOST WORLDWIDE TO THE OLD SPANISH FLU.
"On May 28, USA TODAY published a series of reports documenting HUNDREDS of lab incidents at public and private research facilities nationwide.
The investigation noted that many labs, including the CDC, have fought to keep records secret about incidents and regulatory actions.
However, for the first time since the scandal broke in May about an Army lab's botched handling of anthrax, the Pentagon is now acknowledging that worries now extend to other lethal agents that it studies."
WHAT OTHER "LETHAL AGENTS"?
THAT'S CLASSIFIED.
THEY DON'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO PANIC, MAYBE?
OR,MAYBE, THEY DON'T WANT TO ADVERTISE HOW DEEPLY THEY ARE INVOLVED WITH CREATING "WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION"?
USA TODAY HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THIS FOR YEARS.
IN JANUARY, THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW RAMPANT MISHANDLING HAD BEEN AT CDC'S OWN LABS!
The CDC granted the request "expedited" processing status because USA TODAY had demonstrated there is a compelling public need for the information.
The agency initially said it anticipated responding by June 4.
THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS.
""The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — which has publicly disclosed three serious laboratory accidents during the past year involving Ebola, anthrax and a deadly strain of bird flu — says it will take three more years before it will release copies of all incident reports for the agency's labs in Atlanta and Fort Collins, Colo."
"THOUSANDS OF RECORDS"?
OF SCREW-UPS?
OF "ERRORS"?
""Some labs ignored information requests or attempted to charge hundreds of dollars in fees for records they are required to make public as a condition of their federal research funding.
Others sought to conceal information about the pathogens they experiment with, lab mistakes or disciplinary actions taken by federal regulators.
One lab even lobbied its state legislature for a bill to exempt its research records, citing USA TODAY's request for its biosafety records.
Several labs claimed that bioterrorism laws prohibited them from releasing any information about their work with pathogens designated as select agents — the regulatory term for viruses, bacteria and toxins that have the potential to be used as bioterror weapons. And many persisted in these claims even after reporters pointed out the labs' own press releases, websites and research papers touting their work with these same pathogens.
Regulators from the Federal Select Agent Program told USA TODAY there are no rules or laws restricting labs from discussing the type of select agent work they do or the names of the pathogens involved. The only prohibitions involve specific information about security measures — such as locations of keys or security codes."
WHY HIDE THE INFORMATION THEN?
USA TODAY HAS FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT TO EXPOSE THE SHODDY WAY IN WHICH GOVERNMENT LABS ARE RUN, BUT AFTER 6 YEARS OR SO, THEY'VE HIT ANOTHER DEAD END, IT SEEMS.
OF INTEREST TO THE TEA ROOM IS THE ONGOING SEARCH FOR NEW VIRUSES.
I MEAN, WHY SEARCH FOR NEW STRAINS EXCEPT TO HAVE SOMETHING THE OTHER GUYS WHO ARE PLAYING "BUILD A PANDEMIC WEAPON" DON'T HAVE, RIGHT?
RECENT DISCOVERIES OF GIANT VIRUSES ADDED A WHOLE NEW LINE TO "BIOWEAPONS DEFENCE", aka, "WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION".
CHILE AND SIBERIA HAVE BEEN TOP PRODUCERS FOR MEGA-VIRUS STRAINS, SO FAR.
THEY HAD TO DIG DOWN 30 METERS INTO SIBERIAN PERMAFROST TO COME UP WITH THE LATEST "GIANT"/
THAT'S DEDICATION, ISN'T IT?
THEY ARE LOOKING IN SOME VERY UNPLEASANT ENVIRONMENTS!
THEY EVEN NAMED ONE OF THE BIG FOUR "PANDORA".
THAT SHOULD WARN US, YES?
THE RACE IS ALWAYS ON...
BUILD A BETTER VIRUS, BECOME LEADING NATION IN THE BIO-TERROR GAME.
I HAD HOPED TO PROVIDE A MAP OF ALL "NATIONAL LABORATORIES", MILITARY AND OTHERWISE, BUT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING PUBLISHED?
MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T WANT US TO WORRY...OR, WORSE, PANIC?
AFTER ALL, WE'VE ALL BEEN FAIR GAME FOR TESTING SINCE, WELL, SINCE DAY 1?
THEY HAD A "LAW" FOR THAT...
PUBLIC LAW 95-79 [P.L. 95-79]
TITLE 50, CHAPTER 32, SECTION 1520
"CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE PROGRAM"
"The use of human subjects will be allowed for the testing of chemical and biological agents by the U.S. Department of Defense, accounting to Congressional committees with respect to the experiments and studies."
Public Law 95-79, Title VIII, Sec. 808, July 30, 1977, 91 Stat. 334. In U.S. Statutes-at-Large, Vol. 91, page 334, you will find Public Law 95-79. Public Law 97-375, title II, Sec. 203(a)(1), Dec. 21, 1982, 96 Stat. 1882. In U.S. Statutes-at-Large, Vol. 96, page 1882, you will find Public Law 97-375.
FOR A LOOK AT HOW THE "TESTING" BOYS WERE DOING LAST YEAR, AS REPORTED TO CONGRESS, WHO DOESN'T KNOW BEANS ABOUT SUCH THINGS, SEE THE PDF LOCATED AT
http://www.acq.osd.mil/cp/cbd_docs/home/Final%202014%20DoD%20CBDP%20ARC_signed%2021%20Mar%202014.pdf
IT'S A VERY INTERESTING READ!
AND, UMMM, IT'S ALL IN THE INTEREST OF "NATIONAL DEFENCE", RIGHT?
I'D LAUGH IF IT WASN'T SO DEVIOUS...
ALSO, FOR A LOOK AT HOW LITTLE OUR "TESTING" BOYS CARE ABOUT THE REST OF US, HAVE A SHORT READ <HERE>.
AND, FINALLY, FOR THOSE OF YOU ALIVE OR BORN RIGHT AFTER 1965 IN NEVADA OR CALIFORNIA, THERE WAS A NUCLEAR EXPERIMENT, AKIN TO THE GREEN RUN UP BY HANFORD IN WASHINGTON STATE, WHICH MAY HAVE AFFECTED YOUR DNA:
IT WAS A PLANNED EXPERIMENT ON THE HUMAN POPULATION OF PARTS OF NEVADA AND ALL THE WAY TO LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
FROM THE BEGINNING, THE INTENTION WAS TO EXPOSE UNSUSPECTING AMERICAN PEOPLE TO RADIATION.
IT WAS NOT THE FIRST SUCH TEST, NOR WAS IT THE LAST.
THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT THE WORLD 'THE MANHATTAN PROJECT' ALSO GAVE US THE KIWI-TNT NUCLEAR "TEST".
The test was conducted at the Nuclear Rocket Development Station. Jackass Flats, Nevada. on January 12. 1965. at 1058 PST.
The LOS Alamos Scientific Laboratory collected environmental data from the test point to approximately 50 miles downwind.
The U.S. Public Health Service monitored the neighborhood and collected milk samples in southern Nevada and California to beyond 200 miles downwind.
The course of the effluent cloud was tracked by aircraft from the U. S. Public Health Service and EG&G, and increased radioactivity in routine air samples was observed in Barstow, San Bernadino, Los Angeles and San Diego, Calif., a few days after the explosion, according to the archive documents.
WELL, THEY DO HAVE A TEST FARM (aka, ANIMAL TORTURE SITE. NO ANIMAL SHOULD BE FORCED TO EXIST LIKE THAT!) , BUT LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE NATION IS A TEST FARM, YES?
TAKE CARE, HUMAN POPULATION.
WE ARE GUINEA PIGS STILL.
LET'S HOPE THEY BECOME MORE CAREFUL IN HANDLING VIALS OF LIVE PLAGUE BACTERIA, EBOLA, ANTHRAX, ENCEPHALITIS, ETC!
